Abstract: Movable bridges are interesting and feasible solutions at the crossover point of transportations, providing fascinating landscapes and significant engineering challenges. This paper presents a new structural system applied ...

Abstract: The kinematic analysis method based on generalized inverse theory has been used in the engineering field. However, the traditional numerical procedure is found to be extraordinarily time consuming when the number of unknowns ...

Abstract: The principle of folding analysis of frame structures with kinematical indeterminacy is widely used in the field of engineering. However, the design process of the efficient configuration for spatial structures in ...

Abstract: This study proposes a vibration control system consisting of a swing story subsystem, a lateral force resisting subsystem, and connecting dampers. The swing story subsystem comprising hinged columns connected to continuous ...

Abstract: This study proposes a concept of a single-layer deployable truss structure driven by elastic components which is applicable to small satellites. The structure is self-deployable from its stowed state to a planar regular ...
